Course information
Course details
The learners will be supported by a job coach and other members of the Pathways to Work team at every stage of this process, from sourcing and applying for jobs, completing and updating their vocational profile and CV, to interview and starting the job.
They will be assigned a trained job coach who will use a systematic instruction approach to teach individuals the skills needed to complete a given task. The job coach will assess the learner at every stage of the process once in placement, and will work with the senior job coach and employer to plan when it is appropriate to withdraw the intensive support needed at the beginning of the placement.
Next steps
This course is the final stage of the employability pathway – the aim of a supported Internship is that the learners who have an EHCP will gain paid employment, voluntary work or move into an apprenticeship.
The aim is that the learner will become increasingly independent once they have learnt the role and, by working together, we hope to ensure optimal opportunity for successfully gaining paid employment (including, where appropriate, self-employment).
Additional information
The course consists of attending time in college focusing on employability skills with a job coach and taking part in specific workshops or small-group sessions relevant to their role.
This Bedford Borough Supported Internship, based at Bedford Borough Council, supports students to access roles across a range of departments within the Borough.
